Personalized Prediction of Offensive News Comments by Considering the Characteristics of Commenters

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

When reading news articles on social networking services and news sites, readers can view comments marked by other people on these articles. By reading these comments, a reader can understand the public opinion about the news, and it is often helpful to grasp the overall picture of the news. However, these comments often contain offensive language that readers do not prefer to read. This study aims to predict such offensive comments to improve the quality of the experience of the reader while reading comments. By considering the diversity of the readers' values, the proposed method predicts offensive news comments for each reader based on the feedback from a small number of news comments that the reader rated as "offensive" in the past. In addition, we used a machine learning model that considers the characteristics of the commenters to make predictions, independent of the words and topics in news comments. The experimental results of the proposed method show that prediction can be personalized even when the amount of readers' feedback data used in the prediction is limited. In particular, the proposed method, which considers the commenters' characteristics, has a low probability of false detection of offensive comments.



Hollywood Doesn't Have to Worry About A.I. Yet -- but Filmmakers Should Embrace It (Column)

#artificialintelligence

With the chatbot ChatGPT released to the public and generating complex answers to millions of prompts in seconds, many people in the business of storytelling have been worried about new competition. Hollywood screenwriters don't have to know how to save the cat if a computer can do it for them. This has been a year loaded with dramatic uncertainty for the industry, from the wild oscillations of the streaming market to the bombardment of doom-and-gloom prognoses for arthouse cinema. But these ephemeral dramas have nothing on the fear of encroaching A.I.


World's First AI-generated Christmas Song Is the Stuff of Nightmares

#artificialintelligence

Many holiday songs have lyrics that blend into the background, cloaked in sleigh bells and Christmas jingle, indistinguishable one from another. But if nothing else, every carol sung'round the fire has been written by a human being -- until now. Researchers from the University of Toronto trained a recurrent neural network, a type of complex artificial intelligence (AI), to write a song inspired by an image of a Christmas tree. Give it a listen above, and see if it doesn't chill you more than a frosty winter's eve. In a paper under conference review, the authors explain how they taught the AI to compose tunes by feeding it 100 hours of online music.
